Participants describe Marise as inviting and skilled at uncovering the underlying aspects of a conflict and enabling solutions.
Marise van Amersfoort is an MfN-registered mediator and member of the in-house mediation pool at VU Amsterdam. She also works as at the Centre for International Cooperation (CIS). Like the other internal mediators, she is obliged to keep these roles strictly separate from her mediation work.
“A workplace conflict, something you may face every day, can have a huge impact. As a mediator, I prioritise openness, neutrality and positivity. It is important that participants feel heard and that new perspectives emerge through dialogue. This creates room for greater understanding, acceptance, connection and progress.”
